The Phillies ‘Low-A’ level minor league club, the Lakewood BlueClaws, currently find themselves at the bottom of the South Atlantic (SAL) League standings in the North Division.
The BlueClaws are 16-24, which has them tied with the Marlins’ affiliates in Greensboro for last place. Both teams trail the first place Hagerstown Suns (Nationals) by 10.5 games already.
Manager Shawn Williams’ club has been hurt by the struggles of one of the Phillies top minor league pitching prospects at the lower levels, right-hander Franklyn Kilome.
Kilome thus far has an 0-4 record with a 7.
